spanish or italian song

hello, I heard this on radio few days ago. I only know it wasn't English, there was "viva la vita la vida" and "pueria (?) muerte" in chorus. It was sang by male, I found this a little sad. I know it's very popular, but there are many popular spanish/italian songs . PS muerte is spanish word, right?

hi there,

long shot : "Viva la vida" by Modena City Ramblers
